Experts Speculate On The Cause Of The Obesity Crisis...
Dear Reader,
All of us are heavier now than in the past, and experts continue to wonder at the cause. It may well be that human beings haven't gotten any greedier or lazier over the years, but that the foods we eat, along with the sugar that's so much a part of them, is the root of the problem.
Think about it... our genetics haven't changed, but our environment sure has, as has our access to cheap, sugar-laden foods, more plentiful today than at any time in human history.
According to Professor Jimmy Bell, an obesity specialist at Imperial College in London, the food industry is bombarding us each and every day with messages that encourage us to consume more. He suggests there's a war between our bodies in their natural state and the accessibility that modern living gives us to food. Processed food. This access plays a major role in the obesity epidemic, and the outlook, for Bell anyway, is that we're losing the war on obesity.
There may be something to this. In the 1970s, foods were able to be supplied in larger quantities, attractively displayed on the shelves of American supermarkets, at great prices, giving the general public access to processed, tasty goodies like never before. Portions started growing too, and foods fried in corn oil (French fries, onion rings) took off in popularity. Nutritionist Marion Nestle holds that this combination of factors was what paved the way for obesity to spiral out of control.
One of the biggest changes to our modern diet during the 1970s was the mass production of both corn and high fructose corn syrup - well known as a sweetener added to a majority of processed foods.
High fructose corn syrup is a very sweet by product of waste corn and being rather affordable, began to be used in every imaginable food. Not only did it give great taste, it offered that appealing just baked look to bread and cakes. By the mid 1980s, corn syrup had taken the place of sugar in carbonated soft drinks. As it was one third cheaper than actual sugar.
Consumption of these corn syrup based soft drinks nearly doubled for the average American over the 20 years that followed the change - to 600 cans a year from a starting point of 350.
Also in the mid 1970s there was an impassioned debate in academic circles over heart disease - to be specific, what caused this condition, sugar or fat.
The idea that fat was the root of the problem won out and was the start for our "low fat" food choices of today. This offered food makers an immense opportunity to help consumers avoid the potential scourge of heart disease. Today low fat products are everywhere, unfortunately, that fat has been replaced by sugar.

Experts Speculate On The Cause Of The Obesity Crisis... Continued...
By the time anyone thought to ask if replacing fat with sugar was a good option
it was too late. Sugar had firmly taken hold, the more you ate, the more you
wanted. Some experts, including David Kessler, an ex-head of the Food and Drug
Administration believes that sugar, fat and salt appeal to our brain just like
addictive substances do. Offering a momentary bliss that has a power all its
own.
The American Beverage Association is quick to point out that the increased consumption
of carbonated sodas isn't to blame for the number of pounds everyone is carrying
around these days. Spokesperson Susan Neely suggests that the evidence says obesity
is the result of taking in too many calories without balancing this intake with
enough exercise.
Other experts warn that the sheer amount of fructose (a part of high fructose
corn syrup) being consumed by the average person is the danger. It's the amount
that makes it toxic. Fructose is readily changed to fat once inside the body,
and experts have found that it also suppresses the action of a rather vital hormone,
leptin. Leptin is the hormone that goes and tells your brain you've had enough.
But when the liver is overwhelmed by sugars, leptin just stops working, and the
body loses the natural mechanism for knowing when it's full.
If a link between fructose (some suspect it accelerates obesity) and being too
heavy is found, the food industry stands ready to respond.
To your good health,
